Horizon view
Horizon from Humboldt
27.0212° S, 80.9636° E · cell 33JGT
- Highest horizon point
- Humboldt: 12.6° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 294°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 97°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,601 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.9° high at azimuth 297°, 31.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:09 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
